A/N: Hello all, this is my second set of drabbles. These ones are going to be focusing on a different character each time, probably spurred by a prompt. I'll try and keep them as in character as possible. There are probably going to be references to my other set of drabbles, called Oh Bother! because I couldn't think of a better name. This first one is about Rabastan Lestrange. Please enjoy.
Pain
Why do you enjoy pain so much Rabastan? Has Bella's insanity rubbed off on you? Is it because you simply don't care anymore? Do you think you're invincible? Is it because scars are apparently sexy? Do you find pain sexy then? I jest of course, because all these silly reasons are better than the real one. If the other Death Eaters knew the real reason they would never let you hear the end of it. "Why?" the reader will ask, it can't be that bad surely! What would you say if I told you that big, strong Rabastan Lestrange, scary, horrible Rabastan actually feels remorse for the things he's done? Weren't expecting that were you? Because Death Eaters don't feel remorse, am I right? Guess Rabastan isn't a Death Eater then, because every night he goes to some muggle bar, gets drunk, finds the biggest guy in the room and starts a fight. He goes home bruised, broken and bloody, but he doesn't regret it. Because now he feels the pain his victims go through, feels as bad as their families do. It doesn't make up for his actions, but it does something. It makes him feel human again. He likes feeling human, because it means he is no longer an animal, the animal he is around Bellatrix, Alecto, Rodulphus and all the others. That is why Rodolphus Lestrange loves pain. Odd as it may be.
